The huge Qingchuan Prefecture is the largest city in the entire Ze Province.
Since Daling abolished the city walls of most cities, this capital city with a special terrain has experienced explosive development.
With Qingchuan Lake in the center as the core, it radiates to the surrounding areas, including Jade Malin, Jiuhu Slope, Chen Sanguan, and Mingguang Phoenix Garden.
The bustling and elegant neighborhoods, gardens, and residential areas are all in the unique style of gray tiles and gray walls of Qingchuan Prefecture.
The building that belongs to the Yin Yamen of the entire Ze Province is among them, Chen Sanguan.
Chen San Temple was originally an expansion of a Taoist temple that was once a popular temple.
It was named after the person who first established it was named Chen San. Now it has developed into a huge and prosperous city.
At this time, he entered this urban area among the crowds of people and cars.
A carriage with a gorgeous appearance, but a bumpy ride with almost no shock absorption, was rushing towards the government office at an unhurried pace.
Surrounding the carriage were the same carriages, oxen carts, and even donkey carts coming and going.
Many vehicles were carrying vegetables, fruits, grains, and even wine jars.
On the sidewalks on both sides of the driveway, passers-by come and go, and their clothes are colorful. Except for yellow and gold, you can see all other colors.
Zhang Rongfang even saw some wealthy girls with half-exposed breasts, colorful dresses like peacocks, and at least several kilograms of silver and gold jewelry on their heads, shoulders, and necks.
"Women here regard big breasts as their beauty, and jewelry as heavy as their beauty. So you can see a lot of such outfits on the road."
Ding Rui explained with a smile in the car.
"Of course, those who are qualified to dress up like this must at least be from extremely wealthy families."
He looked at a street sign passing by outside, and the words Wutong Street were clearly written on it.
"Okay, it's almost done. I'll send you here and it's over. From now on, it's all up to you, junior brother." Ding Rui said softly.
"The situation in Qingchuan Mansion is complicated, but I believe that your skills, junior brother, are more than enough. This is actually a small test."
"Test? Is it my uncle?" Zhang Rongfang was stunned.
"Of course. Your performance here is mainly to control and operate local industries. For the rest of the suppression of the rebels and the use of force, you don't have to worry about it. The experts we sent will take care of it.
In addition, although there is no need to worry about the safety of this place, don't think that it will be easier to manage than Erythrina. This is because this is the most prosperous place in the entire Zhejiang Province. If you hit a rich man on the street, you may pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, and you will be implicated behind the scenes.
Go to the Yuxu Palace clan.
When the time comes, how you handle it will be watched by everyone. So, how you grasp and express yourself depends entirely on you.
Be careful not to use force easily." Ding Rui said meaningfully.
After listening, Zhang Rongfang also understood that this side was completely different from Ci Tong's side.
If it were said that they could be swept across with real swords and guns.
So here, you can't directly fight with your own people? There will definitely be many people in the Twelve Sect Houses over the Yuxu Palace buying properties in the province, and they are not completely isolated from the world.
This is the real trouble. We are all our own people, so you can't just kill people and exterminate the whole family, right? After all, ordinary financial disputes are not that big of a deal.
"I understand." Zhang Rongfang thought for a moment and nodded.
It seems that no matter what happens here, everything will have to wait for his own people and his own power team to arrive before he can take action.
Relying on oneself alone, even if you are sure to handle the situation, you will not be able to create a safe area that is completely your own.
So, don't rush...
The carriage slowly stopped by the roadside.
Ding Rui got out of the car and clasped his fists towards Zhang Rongfang.
"Junior brother, if you have anything related to your safety during this trip, you can come to Ding's house to find me. But if it's other minor matters, try not to come. It may affect the Palace Master's inspection and attention of you.
You must be careful, if you pay enough attention to it, even if you can't become a Taoist here, you can still get a lot of support from the clan, which is equivalent to achieving your goal in disguise."
He is obviously on Yue Dewen's side, so his suggestions to Zhang Rongfang are sincere and genuine.
Zhang Rongfang also felt this and returned the favor.
"I'll remember it. Thank you, senior brother, for supporting me all the way."
"polite."
Ding Rui smiled casually, turned around and disappeared into the crowd. He quickly entered an alley and disappeared.
Zhang Rongfang watched him leave. Looking at the streets here with completely different clothing styles, a new sense of strangeness and alienation came to his heart.
Men here like to wear sloping shirts that expose half of their shoulders, and most of them are short and stocky with dark skin.
In addition to the women's attire I just saw, even ordinary women wear a lot of various jewelry, and cheap jewelry is also decorated all over.
Apparently that's the custom here.
"Let's go..." Zhang Rongfang closed the carriage door and ordered.
He needs to consider how to deal with the situations Ding Rui just mentioned.
If you want to practice peace of mind when you come to this place, the first thing you have to do is how to make money and resources.

Qingchuan government office.
A team greeted the officials, with the policemen, official servants, temporary servants and others behind them, lining up to wait for the upcoming new governor.
Among a bunch of people.
Two people stand out the most.
The man standing at the front is tall and broad, with a beautiful beard on his chin. He has a handsome face, bookish look, slightly white skin, and a high nose. He seems to be part Husi ancestry.
This person is Jin Yonghe, the co-president of Qingchuan Prefecture. He comes from the Jin family, a wealthy family in Ze Province.
There was another person on his side. He was tall and tall, with arms as strong as an ordinary person's thighs. His skin was dark, and he looked like he was extremely powerful.
This man's eyes are round, his nostrils are turned out, and his messy brown hair is like a lion's mane, which is particularly conspicuous.
He is Shangguan Zhi, the governor who controls the entire garrison near Qingchuan.
Likewise, he was also born into the Shangguan family, the largest family in Ze Province.
"Brother Jin, I heard that this new governor is the Taoist disciple recognized by Tianbao Palace? Do you have any news over there?" Shangguan Zhi licked his nostrils with some dissatisfaction.
Early in the morning, he was asked to wait here to receive some new ghost governor.
If it weren't for the other party's reputation, he probably wouldn't even bother paying attention to it.
At this time, wouldn't it be better to rest and sleep at home with your beloved wife and concubine in your arms? You have to wait here like a bunch of stupid geese.
"I know a little bit, but it's not a fuel-efficient lamp." Jin Yonghe replied with a smile, "But what if this guy has more skills? He is here alone, and everything requires our cooperation to convey the government order. Everyone cooperates with each other,
Taking a step back is the best way to deal with it."
"That's true. We are all a family anyway. It's true that you are good to me and everyone is good to each other. Let's see if we can make friends then.
This guy comes from Tianbao Palace, and he probably doesn't know much about martial arts. Let's see if he knows how to do it. If he does, then give him some benefits. If he doesn't know how to do it, then get rid of him and just become a closed-door governor."
Shangguan Zhiman doesn't care about Tao.
"Indeed." Jin Yonghe nodded.
This is the current situation of Qingchuan Prefecture today.
No matter how skillful the newly arrived Zhang Yingdaozi is, the key point is that one of them represents the Shangguan family of the first sect and is from a spiritual noble family.
The other is a member of the Jin family who is the current master of Yuxu Palace. Although they are distant relatives, even if they are only slightly involved, they are quite significant.
With this kind of background, no one dares to provoke them.
The entire Qingchuan government office was divided into two interest factions, dominated by the two of them.
The two of them were talking quietly when suddenly, on the street in the distance, a white carriage slowly followed the flow of traffic and people and approached them.
Soon, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the government office.
The carriage door slid open, and a tall, muscular man slowly walked out of it.
The person who came was wearing a white Taoist robe, a Qinghua Taoist crown on his head, and his whole body was tangled with muscles. It was impossible to tell what connection he had with the frail Tianbao Palace.
After getting out of the car, the man cupped his fists and raised his hands to the people waiting to greet him.
"I, Zhang Ying, have no virtue and ability, asking all my colleagues to wait for such a long time."
"Sir Zhang Yingzhang, we have been working hard all the way, and the dust-cleansing banquet has been prepared. You and I are all one family, and we all come from our religion. Now that you are here, don't be formal, just treat it as your own home. I, Qingchuan, are warm and hospitable.
There are beauties and fine wines! You will understand if you stay here for a long time."
Jin Yonghe took a step forward and said with a smile.
"I know Jin Yonghe, the lower official. This is the Governor of the Prefecture, Shangguan Zhi."
Zhang Rongfang's eyes circled around the two of them.
"You two adults are polite. The stability and peace of Qingchuan Mansion in the future depends entirely on your support!"
He bowed his hands to the two of them seriously.
After some back-and-forth and false compliments, the two parties entered the government office together.
Then there is a brief introduction to the structure of the government office and its main staff.
Zhang Rongfang looked at it casually and didn't listen carefully. He had to change it sooner or later anyway.
After dinner, we dealt with many representatives of local wealthy businessmen who came to approach the banquet.
The fellow magistrate named Jin Yonghe, on behalf of the local wealthy family, presented a great gift - a Fuyin mansion that occupies an extremely large area.
The location is at the foot of the mountain a few miles away from the government office.
Zhang Rongfang did not refuse, accepted the gift, and treated it as his own place of residence.
That night, he rested in the Yamen. He stayed behind closed doors at night and began to rest and enter concentration.
In the dead of night.
Outside on the street the watchman was banging his clapper.
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire."
In the bedroom, Zhang Rongfang suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking at the open window, the moon and stars are sparse outside, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and there is a strong wind.
"This place...it seems like it will be my foundation for many years from now on."
He got up, changed his clothes, and put on his mask.
Everything is done in a dark corner to avoid being noticed.
Not long after, he returned to his black mask state.
Even the body shape has been slightly modified using a small technique called bone reshaping.
To avoid being recognized by others.
After finishing everything, Zhang Rongfang put his foot down and suddenly rushed out of the room and out the window.
With his current movement speed, it has already far exceeded the limit of mortals and reached the lower limit of a god-worshipping master.
With such physical quality and special martial arts skills, it is not difficult to avoid human eyes.
In Dadu, he didn't dare to act casually.
In Yuxu Palace, he was still a weakling, unable to move.
But here.
Zhang Rongfang felt that he was doing well again.
Qingchuan Prefecture is very big, even bigger and more prosperous than Wushan Prefecture back then.
One Yuma Lin is equivalent to one Tan Yang City back then.
Not to mention there are several other districts.
With such a huge area, the entangled interests within it are naturally even more troublesome.
But once you sort it out, you will reap huge benefits.
so.....
How to straighten it out and how to deal with it requires skill and wisdom.
Bang!!
The wall of the bedroom where Jin Yonghe slept collapsed.
After smashing open the wall, Zhang Rongfang stepped in and looked at Mr. Tongzhi who was holding a quilt to cover his body.
This gentleman was having a great time, and there were three beautiful women lying on the bed, all of them naked.
Looking at Jin Yonghe who looked confused.
Zhang Rongfang suddenly felt as boring as punching and kicking a nursing home in a kindergarten.
"Who are you!? How dare you trespass..." Before Jin Yonghe could finish his words, a figure flashed in front of him, and he was immediately horrified. He turned over and wrapped his body in a quilt, threw himself forward, and rolled to the ground.
His movements were weird, like a worm swimming on the ground. He avoided Zhang Rongfang's step with extraordinary speed, then jumped up from the ground and took down a thick black knife from the wall.
In an instant, Jin Yonghe's body was filled with energy and blood, his body size increased, his skin turned slightly black, and traces of silver lines appeared.
"No matter who you are, since you dare to come to me and cause trouble today, you deserve to be humiliated!!"
Jin Yonghe roared, holding the knife in both arms, his muscles bulging and surging, and there was a black shadow of the knife in front of him, slashing towards Zhang Rongfang.
